Man, I hope this game runs well enough and doesn't get dog piled due to tech issues.
It's such a good game, a solid PC version could really get this game the audience it deserves.

Is that a grab from the Pro patch?
It doesn't look anywhere near that bad on base PS5. The game is honestly quite gorgeous on a base PS5, especially w/ ray tracing on. The lighting and environments are truly stunning at times. I used photo mode big time and I never use photo mode.

I understand that, but every bad running version deserves the dog-piling until they stop releasing them in that state.
They'd always be better off to delay the game and not destroy their launch sale momentum. Fixing it later just means you'll get less people buying it over time, and more of those people buying it on sale.

I know, that's why I said I hope it runs well enough, because if it doesn't it's going to get dog piled.

For me personally nothing beats Sekiro, that combat was absolute bliss.
Masaru Yamamura did fantastic job both with Sekiro and Armored Core VI.

Hmmm
I am playing through Armore Core now, it's pretty neat.
Sekiro I understand why people might like it, but for some reason I really didn't, which is super rare for me as I love painfully difficult souls games.
I think what got me in Sekiro is how repetitive and one-note the combat was, lots of parrying, special parry, riposte - game just had you play one way and one way only.
Also it relied a bit too heavily on needing to memorize boss moves, rarely did it feel like you can just approach a new tough enemy and figure things out as you went along.
I saw some Rise of Ronin videos, can't decide on it vs. ghost of tsushima and now there is the new Assassin's game....
For me combat is king but I'm not sure how much I like the idea of fighting only humanoid enemies (true across all these games I supppose).

Two hours in, the complaints about this being a poor port are overstated. First off, the PS5 version is already super demanding, so the PC version being demanding as well doesn't make it a poor port, it just means the game wasn't well optimized to begin with and they did what they could with what they had.
Ultra settings/4k/DLSS Quality/RT ON and I've had a completely smooth as butter, locked 60 fps experience. I could easily see your average computer dropping down to high settings and a change here or there and having an equally smooth experience. I don't know all of the reviews refused to enable DLSS. DLSS quality at 4k looks better than native, ffs, and it runs better.
Anyway, anyone on the fence should give it a go. It's not a looker, but it's pretty enough, and it has better combat and gameplay than GoT or the upcoming AC: Shadows, so if you are looking for some nice samurai type combat, this is the game to play. It's also only $50 and can be had for even less at the usual suspects.

Sekiro is a perfect game, I don't think it will ever be beaten.

Steam says I've already played 3 hours but I'm pretty sure nearly 2 of those were in the character creator alone. But yeah I completed the prologue and I'm digging it so far. Prologue boss kicked my ass for a bit (playing on hard) but I got a hang of the combat mechanics now. It's been a while since I played a Team Ninja game so I nearly forgot how unforgiving their games can be lol
As for performance: absolutely flawless 60fps @ Ultra so far, but again I only completed the prologue.

I remember how messed up Wo Long's port was at launch and this one is in a significantly better state so far. Like I said, the prologue was flawless but I need to put more time into it to see if it holds up.

I really enjoyed it this game to be honest, the combat is an absolute blast and the world is fun to explore. What I didn't like is having a mute protagonist, it was quite immersion breaking in many parts of the gam, for me at least. But its a solid game and I will probably get it again on sale on pc in the near future

No way lmao. It has worse collecthaton, graphics and performance and story you cant even keep track of with 50 different characters on factions. Gameplay is ok, customization is great

If it's a good game though, I'll play it
As anyone who played Stalker back in the day out of the box, or most other PC games from the last 23 years can attest

Seems like ragebait from DF to be honest. The game isn't cutting edge when it comes to visuals but I've never seen anything like that in the 110 hours I've put into it.

Well.
All the negative reviews are about performance issues.
edit: Steam only lists people that have bought the game through Steam for the "Overall Reviews" (352) the other reviews are from people buying it elsewhere, so it's worse than Mixed.

People too busy crying that their 4090+ can't run max settings at 120 FPS when 60 FPS is more then fine. Don't know why they expected the game to be optimized when they saw the warning sign of it being a 150 GB download.

Ray Tracing doesn't really do anything for this game, and many times looks worse. I had hoped they improved it on PC but I don't think they have at all. You can't use RT on the Pro at all, the two graphics modes are both unplayable.

Yea, I dunno the ins and outs of RT. The animations, facial expressions, environment, and overall lighting are really good to me. There's definitely pop in, and distant landscapes can look low res but I never found the game to be an eye sore when it came to my immediate surroundings. I should upload some screenshots just to kind of prove a point for those who keep saying it looks awful. The OST is fantastic as well, good voice acting too (Japanese voices).
RafterXL

I don't think it looks awful at all, it's very clean, just dated. I think it looks really nice out in the world, less so in the cities. The characters and voice work are great as well. My only peeve is that I would like it if there was an option for everyone to speak their native language. I keep it on Japanese but every time someone like Matthew Perry speaks I wish he was speaking English.

Which is a reasonable reaction when it looks like a PS4 game most of the time.

Word. FWIW, I wasn't necessarily directing my previous post at you, just speaking in general.

3060ti / 6700k. 1080p dlss quality, standard/high graphics options mixed. 60fps flawless, not really any stutters outside of cutscenes.
I dunno, runs great for me.

Good to hear actually
I've got a 3070. I'll give it a shot, but if it's a stutterfest, it's a straight refund

Reposting from the other thread:
Game is still great. Runs really, really well compared to the PS5 version.
I played the PS5 version for 100+ hours but was always struggling with the combat because of the brutal timing-based parries. Unstable performance made it very difficult for me to get the timing right. So I just played on easy mode.
But on PC it runs super smooth capped at 60 and I'm discovering a whole new way to play the game with the perfect parry. I have a 4070 and I play on 1440p, pretty much everything on ultra, DLSS to balanced. Disabled reflection raytracing.
The combat is so good. Extremely rewarding to pull off the parries. And the vibes in the game are great, it's not a visual masterpiece but the atmosphere is aces. Beautiful music too (by Inon Zur, who also did Fallout and Starfield). Traversal is fun, the glider is cool. The story gets messy super quick but who cares.
Tip: just make your way through the story until you unlock the Longhouse, and then go explore. In the Longhouse you can fully customize your character (just like at the start of the game) and transmog your outfits and gear. Plus you'll get the glider and meet Taka

The player is using FSR with low base resolution. It could easily be patched to use XeSS with OptiScaler on AMD hardware and improve image quality a metric ton.

Yep! Got the Hayabusa like transmog, looking awesome. I agree about the combat. Really fun and the parrying is great!
